The version 9 update warns that it will disable the Logitech mouse add-on. Does this mean that our mice will no longer work with Firefox?

Hi,

Please see this (Message 4 of 8 and 6 of 8).

To check if Logitech has updated the add-on: Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons, click Extensions on the left, right-click the add-on and Find Updates. To go to the add-on support site, click on More and Home Page.

Thanks for your prompt help - I'm not that familiar with extensions etc. I gave up being an amateur techy with DOS 3.1

To date 1/16/12 My Logitech M510 will still NOT work with Firefox. Let me rephrase this: I can use it for any links, or if I use the scroll on the far right of the screen. BUT I can't use the scroll on the mouse to move any webpage up or down. I have a new mouse and have, also, tried to use several of my other mice and to no avail. I have gone into the Control panel to check things out there and all seems to be OK. Also, it states that the mouse is working fine. BUT I have gone into tools, add-ons, and it states for the Logitech is not compatible with 9.1 Firefox. Yet I was, also, having this problem with the last version too. What is happening and when will be fixed. Also, I am getting so many crashes per day that I'm not sure what is going on there too. Never have had so many problems with Firefox and I have been a devoted member since they started. HELP!!!

Hi jimdevaughn,

You can try to toggle Use autoscrolling and Use smooth scrolling on and off in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Advanced > General and see if it helps.
